In ultrasound, we have the following imaging modes: A-mode or amplitude mode: most simple method that displays the envelope of pulse-echoes versus time. Mostly used in ophthalmology to determine the relative distances between different regions of the eye, and in localization of the brain midline, or myocardium infarction. 1, record 1, English, - A%2Dmode

C'est la première modalité qui est apparue dans l'histoire de l'échographie médicale. L'écho réfléchi se traduisait par un pic sur l'écran d’un oscilloscope. Plus l'intensité de l'écho était élevée, plus le pic était haut sur le graphe. La distance de la structure réfléchissante par rapport à la sonde était calculée sur l'axe des abscisses de la courbe. L'une des premières applications du mode A a été la mesure du déplacement de l'écho médian du cerveau en cas d’hématome ou de masse intracrânienne [...] 1, record 1, French, - mode%20A

Mais à quoi sert exactement la courbe d’un téléviseur ou d’un moniteur? La réponse change en fonction de la campagne marketing en cours, mais parmi [les] plus courantes figure le fait qu'un écran courbé pourrait offrir un meilleur sentiment d’immersion, ou encore donner l'impression d’une image plus naturelle, puisque les coins, normalement plus éloignés des yeux, sont ici rapprochés. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9cran%20incurv%C3%A9

Le thermo-hygrographe mesure et inscrit conjointement, pour 24h ou une semaine, l'évolution des températures et des taux d’humidité. La mesure vise une information : température, poids, longueur, intensité. Elle suppose intimement une visibilité : position d’une aiguille, indication chiffrée, trace et courbe sur un papier, un écran. 3, record 3, French, - thermohygrographe

Screen tension is extremely important when screen printing thick films on hybrid-circuit substrates. Tension that is too low results in irregular prints with regularly shaded gaps. An irregularly stretched screen will cause poor pattern definition. The greater the tension, the less amount of ink that will be printed. This is because the angle of attack is less, due to reduced screen deflection. Screen tension will vary with the life of the screen. When the tension becomes too low to be compensated for by adjustment to the printer, the screen must be discarded. 1, record 4, English, - screen%20tension

Courbe caractéristique d’une tétrode. Allure de la courbe Ip/Up pour une tension de grille constante. On s’aperçoit de la non-linéarité de la courbe pour des tensions plaques proches et inférieures à la tension d’écran(200V). Cela vient du fait que l'écran va absorber une partie non négligeable du courant total en lieu et place de la plaque. 1, record 4, French, - tension%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9cran
